Instructional Ideas

• Pause the video after each scientist for learners to explore their theories using Phun software
• Create a graphic organizer for pupils to complete as notes during the video

Classroom Considerations

• Meant to be an introductory overview of physics with no prior knowledge necessary
• The first in a series of 15 resources

Pros

• Utilizes computer software to demonstrate work of historical physicists

Cons

• Goes into depth in some places and not in others, which creates an imbalanced overview
